New House - Tenant Won't Vacate

[Erin Speer]

Hi Everyone!

My name is Erin and my fiancé and I just bought our first home in Layton, Utah. We did a short-term lease back to the seller so that the tenants currently in the property could stay until the end of their lease, September 30th. Now that the 30th is right around the corner I have been trying to coordinate the transition with my realtor and the current property manager however, this has proven to be difficult. The property manager says the tenant continuously avoids him and will only speak with him when the tenant is asking to speak with me, the new homeowner (not sure if it is a good idea to speak with the tenant directly or not). When I drive by the house it doesn't look like the tenant is making any progress towards moving out either. 

I am starting to worry that the tenant is not going to vacate the property by the end of their lease. If anyone has been in a similar situation or has any advice on how to handle this should my nightmare be true it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
